Facebook becomes serious competitor of youtube

[jos]

Facebook is offering video creators like the NBA, Fox Sports and Funny or Die a revenue split from ads sold alongside their videos beginning this fall. It’s the first time Facebook has done any kind of revenue share around video, and the pitch to content creators is pretty transparent: Share your content with us and we’ll share some of the money we make back with you.

The move is a full-on attack against YouTube, which has dominated the digital video market for the better half of a decade. Facebook has been able to attract content creators because of its massive reach, but now it’s offering them the one thing YouTube has offered for years: Money. YouTube also uses a revenue split to entice content creators — the same revenue split, actually — with 55 percent going to the video creator and the remaining 45 percent staying with the platform.

But Facebook’s argument is that it can get more eyeballs for your video. People don’t have to hunt to find your video — Facebook will show it to them. And those people don’t need to be following your Facebook Page, either

 

 

 

I tink facebook will become more attractive, due to a lot of facebook junkies.

Facebook is still no1 ... although the graph below is last year, till now the facebook is still no 1

[Dencel]

People still use Facebook ?

Why do you say that ?

[handymanshandle]

I mean I use Facebook but please don't do this.

[Recon97]

Facebook can go in a hole and whack off there.There are many apps now like whatsapp AMD so on.

[Syntaxvgm]

I still haven't made a facebook account...do people use it? 

[Delusional Phil]

Why do you say that ?

Because there are more ways to communicate rather than use Facebook . To me , Facebook has nothing that interest me . A bunch of people posting to get likes , to get virtual sympathy . I hate that kind of thing .

I use it.

 

I haven't closed my account yet since I'm an admin for my band's page. Otherwise, I'd delete it in a heartbeat. The people I'm friends with on there (irl friends) make me question why I'm friends with them.

I still use Facebook all the time, but only as a news feed. I hate - no, loathe - Facebook videos. The player is horrendous and videos load insanely slowly, and sometimes when streaming HD it'll be extremely choppy. 

 

Facebook is nowhere even close to being a serious competitor to YouTube.

Still.

I used to like Facebook, now most of my friends post things like:

Like for ___

If you don't like you'll ____

I don't care actually but it becomes more and more (for me).

 

Now I use Twitter, but I rarely online :3

I'm mostly online either Steam or this Forum.

I gave you a sarcastic like

[Psykomantis00]

I use facebook for car parts, that's about it. Facebook will never compete with youtube for one simple reason. Facebook is blocked by the majority of companies as they see it as a major time waster. I've never seen youtube blocked though. 

[Delusional Phil]

I gave you a sarcastic like

Gee thanks >.>^{/ More sarcasm /}

[Yog]

I think facebook is the thing I hate most in this world. The fact that it's thriving and expanding despite the fact that nobody likes using it burns me up.

[Bouzoo]

Well I use it. We have few uni groups that come handy all the time, and it's practical for stuff like barbecues and some big events.

How the hell am I supposed to remember all birthdays?

That's exactly the last time I used it for anything meaningful lool, when I first started uni

 

Used it to find people who would be staying in my block and also people on my course, and there were lots of things on there for freshers week too lots of info and group invites ect

It was really good for that, and events on facebook definitely beats what most people I know have turn to now which is WhatsApp group msgs  <_<  I love WhatsApp, but getting 10 msgs every 5 seconds from group chats sucks >.< 

 

Now a days the only thing people I know use facebook for is if they are really bored they look through all the news feed posts on their phone from all those pages they liked when they were 15 

 

I don't see anyone using it as a youtube replacement, or even alternative. Events are the only thing worthwhile with facebook now (And people don't even use it), unfortunately nothing does it better that a lot of people I know use. (twitter/snapchat/whatsapp ect)

Facebook being a more popular app than Youtube doesn't mean that it can or is competing with what Youtube is in any way. And Facebook will never be able to compete with what Youtube is.
